What are our values?

We have a history of Western Civilization. It is one of law and dating back to Hammurabi, through the Jews, the Romans. Other cultures also have this tradition. What do you think of it? Please respond. We believe in compassion, as mental health professionals. I have heard mental health professionals in Morocco, Portugal express similar concerns.

I can not sleep well at night. I do. I have had a concussion, but maybe I. can stil, think well.

You may think that I am crazy, drunk or supid. I had this throughout my life. I don't think so, but perhaps you do.

Please respond. I am very concerned about the state of the world.

I will just add another note. I had a dream last night about Henry Kisssinger.

What? I am concerned, [erheaps about the disorder in the world and he wrote a book I have not read, called "World Order."

Reflections? Critical or otherwise?

Thank you.
